Midjourney’s concept of Giant Dougal leaves something to be desired

I have been enjoying midjourneys stylistic approach, but yeah don't ask it for anything sensible you'll always get people with three or four legs for some reason

i got my DallE access too, here is a fishing board game

I love how all these apps produce dream like imagery, looks fine at first glance but further inspection on lettering etc reveals that it's just incomprehensible gibberish.

loving these

Oh it's September I think I have more credits again. Woohoo

i used up my Dalle ones pretty quickly. I have unlimited for Midjourney though.

Here is a rat, kinda.

I prefer DALL-E’s pricing model to Midjourney’s - buying credits that don’t expire is much better than a monthly subscription to my mind. Plus DALLE gives you a few free ones each month.

I’ve used up almost all my trial credits with Midjourney and don’t think I’ll be subscribing.

Yeah the pay model makes way more sense with DallE. Have you tried the image extending generation? It's quite neat, works best when using small increments. I've been uploading my own paintings and letting it generate extra edges.

the 'remaster' option in MJ is also pretty neat:

Although it can clean up an image too much sometimes

For instance

Original:

Remastered:

The original has much more energy about it, for me.

Signed up for midjourney and wasted 40 credits because I didn't know what I was doing and redid my first prompt over and over trying to download images. Oooops.

Yeah I've played with the image extending a bit - easy to burn through credits with it. This one was extended. I had to extend it quite a lot as despite the original being DALL-E-generated, it fell foul of the 'no realistic faces in uploads' rule, which is a bit daft.

And DALL-E's ban on prompts of famous people is so patchily implemented. It's stopped me doing Harry Styles and Boris Johnson, but its list of famous people must be very short as there are plenty of others it has let through. But as someone said, MJ is generally better for pop culture stuff.

When I say I had to extend it quite a lot, I mean that if the 'generation frame' covered the original face it had generated, it blocked me from doing it on the no-realistic face uploads rule.

There's also another one to try: https://beta.dreamstudio.ai/dream

On the less grotesque end of things, I quite liked this pair I produced yesterday:

Prompt was just "a beautiful woman in a white dress whispers to a man who is sad inside, digital art"

I love how all these apps produce dream like imagery, looks fine at first glance but further inspection on lettering etc reveals that it's just incomprehensible gibberish.

Yeah I quite enjoy that aesthetic.

That's using the expansion on a terrible 'rock stars in heaven' pic.

Some of these are remarkable.

Another fun uncanny gibberish one

https://i.imgur.com/FYw1TtM.jpg

oh my, was that rock stars extending to the left too?

I still think this is my favourite production so far

silly question, course it was. That's amazing

is that supposed to be george w bush, because that's who first came to mind. W staring into the evil heart of the hellscape that is his party and career

I'll leave it open to guesses then, nope to Bush

David Lynch?

Love it when it fucks up like the semantics like this.

I’ve gone through about 200 credits in a week. I need to stop.

This dall-e has unleashed human creativity

Been exclusively using the Stable Diffusion AI at https://beta.dreamstudio.ai/ over the past week - as well as being a lot cheaper than DALL-E, it's really pretty amazing, especially at doing things in the style of an artist. I can see why living artists are pissed off at it being trained on their works without permission.

In the style of Tamara de Lempicka has been good. This is me trying to get a good one of Malcolm McDowell, at first just him then him in A Clockwork Orange. I mean, some of these would definitely do for a cheap paperback edition of ACO.

I started with Joni Mitchell

https://i.imgur.com/bSBAPIX.jpg

This one, based on Franz Marc, I upscaled and cropped a little. Still has annoying bits at the edge that I'd get rid of, but the overall impression I found pretty astonishing

https://i.imgur.com/HdLf3ar.jpg

Played about with Matisse too. I think the prompt for the first was "A blue and white cut-out of a laughing face, made by Henri Matisse". The second one started the same and I forget the subject. Third was a self-portrait.
